It's been over 19 years since Madeleine McCann, the eldest daughter of Kate and Gerry McCann, went missing from their holiday apartment in Praia de Luz, Portugal, while the couple were dining nearby with friends.
It wasn't just Madeleine who was thrown into the spotlight, however, as there was plenty of attention on her twin siblings, Sean and Amelie, as the international search for her whereabouts captured the public's attention for years. The family has since been at the centre of several documentaries about the missing girl.
As Madeleine's brother Sean McCann is set to enter the spotlight by making his Commonwealth Games 2026 debut in the Scotland swim team, here's everything you need to know about the family since her disappearance...
Sean and Amelie are now aged 21, but the family has made it clear that they wish to remain private. After Amelie was photographed at a vigil for Madeleine in May 2023, the couple issued a rare statement requesting that the press leave the twins alone.
It read: "I am writing this message to the media in general. I expect it may not appear in print or on-line but hope that it will spark a conscience in some. As we do every year, we gathered in our village yesterday evening to mark the anniversary of our daughter Madeleine's abduction. It was a special event and lovely to sense the hope and warmth of those who were there.
